Honoria was the spinster aunt of Albus Dumbledore. She was once engaged to a wizard who worked in the Improper Use of Magic Office, but broke off her engagement to him, claiming that he had a "hairy heart" (a wizarding expression for a person who is unfeeling). Rumour had it that her real reason for ending the engagement was catching her fiancé fondling some Horklumps.[1]
It is unknown whether Honoria was the sister of Percival Dumbledore or his wife Kendra.
Etymology
Honoria is a feminine form of the late Roman name Honorius, meaning "honour". Some early saints and popes and one king held this name.
